1 MORE THAN A GAME TOUCH Guide to playing Touch
2 Rugby Club Club 't Gooi 't Gooi INTRODUCTION - WHAT IS TOUCHRUGBY? The origins of touchrugby can be traced back to Australia in the 1960s where it was used as a warmup game for rugby codes. The simplicity of this game is unique; all you need is a rugby ball, a space to play and a group of friends. Touchrugby is a fast moving, minimal contact, evasive game that is played throughout the world by men and women of all ages and skill levels. The game is similar to rugby but without the tackling, scrummaging, rucking, mauling, lineouts and kicking. This fast, simple and exciting game promotes the fundamental skills of running, handling, evasion and support play, whilst developing basic principles of attack and defence, without the fear of getting hurt. PART 1 - WHY TOUCHRUGBY? Flexibility: Touchrugby is suitable for both beginners and experienced players. You can play in either men s, women s or mixed divisions. Touchrugby is a minimal contact, recreational sport that is about playing the game on the field and also the social atmosphere afterwards. Touchrugby is a fun game for the local park or even the beach. It is easy to learn and a great way to get in shape. Touchrugby can also be used for simple dodging, chasing and warm-up activities. PART 2 - UNDERSTANDING THE GAME Object of the game: The object of the game is for each team to score touchdowns and to prevent the opposition from scoring. The ball may be passed, knocked or handed between on-side players of the attacking team, who may in turn, run or otherwise move with the ball in an attempt to gain territorial advantage and score. Defending players prevent the attacking team from gaining a territorial advantage by touching the ball carrier. Either defending or attacking players may initiate the touch. 3
3 Start of the game: The team that wins the coin toss chooses the direction of play and must start with a tap from the middle of the field. The defending team must be back 10 metres for the start of play and after each touchdown. Duration of the game: The duration of the game can be varied to suit your local circumstances. But as a guide try 2 x 10-minute halves. Size of the field: The size of the field can vary, but the game will generally be played on half a rugby field (playing across the field). Posts are not required to play touchrugby. Number of players: Teams can consist of up to a maximum of 14 players, 6 on the field at anyone time. It is suggested that teams of between 8 and 10 help to encourage maximum involvement and activity. Method of scoring: A touchdown is awarded when an attacking player places the ball on the ground, on or over the defending team s scoreline. A touchdown is worth 1 point. The person who takes the role of dummy half (the person who receives the ball from the player starting the game) can cross the try-line, but not score. After a team scores, the play begins again with a tap in the middle of the field by the non-scoring team. PART 3 THE BASICS The Touch: Players of both defending and attacking teams are to use the minimum force necessary to affect the touch. A touch can be made on any part of the person, their clothing or the ball. After a touch has been affected, the player in possession is required to stop, return to the mark where the touch occurred (if the mark has been over-run), and perform a Rollball without delay. After being touched 6 times, the ball is handed over to the other side. If a touch is considered to be too strong, a penalty will be awarded against the offending team. The dummy half is not allowed to be caught whilst in possession of the ball. If the dummy half is caught with the ball, possession is handed over to the opposition who will recommence play with a Rollball. The Rollball: The Rollball is affected by the attacking player positioning on the mark, facing the defenders scoreline, standing parallel to the sidelines, and rolling the ball backwards along the ground between his/her feet. If the ball is rolled more than 1 metre, a penalty will be awarded to the opposition. Voluntary Rollball occurs when the player is not touched and rolls the ball between his/her legs. This is not permitted and will result in a penalty to the opposition. The Penalty: If a player is penalised, his/her team must retreat 10 metres. A penalty is taken by placing the ball on the ground, letting go of the ball, touching the ball with the foot and picking up the ball. Passing: A forward pass occurs when the ball is passed in front of the player who was in possession of the ball. In this situation, the ruling will be a penalty. A touch and pass occurs when a person who is touched then passes the ball. Again, the ruling will be a penalty. Offside: An attacking player is offside when that player is forward of another attacking player who has possession or who last had possession of the ball. A defending player is offside when that player has not retreated the required 5 metres (Rollball) or 10 metres (penalty and restart of play after touchdowns) at recommencement of play. For all offside incidents, the opposition will be awarded a penalty. 4 5
4 PART 4 - GENERAL RULES PART 5 - GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF PLAY 1. Go forward: In attack: The aim of the game is to score more touchdowns than the opposition. This is achieved by advancing towards the try-line. At times, it can be tactically advantageous to move towards the sideline to enable more room for further attacking plays. In defence: When defending, try to deny your opponents time and space by moving forward and making the touch. The faster you move up on the attacking team, the less advancement towards your try line they will be able to make. 2. Support the ball carrier at all times: Close support of the ball carrier allows more options in attack and means possession can be maintained. Close support also means no ground needs to be lost by having to pass the ball a long way backwards to a team mate. Remember, a pass directly sideways is allowed and can often be the most effective pass. 3. Interchange players as much as possible: A fresh set of legs on the field can be the difference between winning and losing. Look to interchange your players while your team is on the attack and in the area of the interchange box. Once you have made a touchdown, it is a good idea to get a whole new set of players on the field to keep up the intensity. General: Overstepping or off the mark occurs when the player who has been touched goes past the point where they were touched. In this case, a penalty will be awarded to the opposition. When the ball goes to ground for any reason, possession changes and the game is recommenced with a Rollball. Shepherding or obstruction will result in a penalty being awarded to the opposition. Deviation happens at recommencement of play when a defender does not retreat straight back 5 metres to an on-side position and thereby obstructs the attacking player. This will result in a penalty being awarded to the opposition. For minor offences, e.g. bickering with a referee, shouldering, leg trips, etc, the player can be sinbinned for five minutes without replacement. Foul play of any nature (the referee being the sole judge) will result in the offending player being sent from the field without replacement. 6 7
5 PITCH LAYOUT REFEREEING Existing uprights As in any game, a referee s role is vital to ensure that the prescribed rules are followed for the enjoyment of all participants. Anyone can referee Touchrugby at a social level providing the basics are understood (please see the Quick Rules below). A referee must be able to control play on the field in a firm but friendly manner. Your local Referees Society and club members are both great places to start when looking for referees. Half way line 49m QUICK RULES 4m 5m 15m 10m Interchange 10m - Layout of cones - Grass to be no longer than 1 1 /2 inches - Solid and broken line markings as per diagram above - Posts are not required 15m 5m 4m 1.

The defending team must be back 10 metres for the start of play, and after each touchdown. 5. After a team scores, the play begins again with a tap in the middle. 6. The person who takes the role of dummy half can cross the try-line but not score. 7. If the dummy half is touched while in possession of the ball, it is a turnover. ROLLBALL. 8.

No control: When the ball is thrown, dropped, knocked on, in a touch. ROLLBALL. 15. When someone is penalised, his/her team must then retreat 10 metres.
